A wrapping paper room?

We've still got some wrapping paper sitting in the corner that we didn't put away from the holidays. She said, "If we were rich, I'd want a wrapping paper room."

There's no such thing as a wrapping paper room! An art room? Sure. A Library? Of course. A workshop? Yeah. A room where you wrap things?? What a dumb idea!

She was adamant that it's a real thing...

Sure as ****, it IS a thing. God help us!

According to a friend who is a real estate agent they are more common than we think.

I don't know about a full time wrapping room, but maybe a holiday wrapping room?
I'm all about that!
Most people don't understand the joy of wrapping a gift. There's a lot of love that goes into it!!
Choosing the right paper for a certain person. Matching the paper for a bow. Do you make a homemade bow or peel and stick? Or in between?

@Funnylady :
Just about word for word is what our real estate agent friend has said clients have told her about the wrapping rooms. ,

It does seem to have started about 5 years ago and is catching on.

@PeoriaIllinoisan: I think you throw it in a fireplace and light a match.

@billybob :
This was an old house lacking insulation. Helped during the winter to keep these rooms warm. This house was 17 an1/2 feet away from railroad tracks. Around 3 am high ball train would fly by and shake everything in the house. We purchase the house for $8000.00 Full of life back then.

I don't know about wrapping rooms. I like the take who I am buying the gift for to the store and let them tell you what they like then watch their eyes as you hand what they really like. Gift should be any time because waiting for a day that may never come. Gift today.
